    AC/DC had to come here to the Midwest where they got their big break from the same Cleveland Radio Station that gave Rush their start. They then toured with Kiss, Styx, REO and Cheap Trick (Which is the time frame I saw them) but when Mutt Lange took over managing them they exploded into Super Group status and became, ultimately, a far more influential Rock band than either Deep Purple or Black Sabbath.

    I never understood the UK’s rejection of AC/DC in the 70’s but then I never got Europe’s infatuation with the Punk movement as the vast majority of Punk music was god awful bad only to be followed by the even worse New Wave movement which stormed across Europe but only significant American contribution was the video New Wave Hookers which mercifully brought the all style no substance Punk/New Wave era to an end and proved AC/DC right.
    Brilliant, mate.

    AC/DC stood the test of time. There is never anything that can go wrong with good, loud, 3 chord hard rock songs as epitomized and perfected by the Young brothers, et al.

    I first became aware of AC/DC in 1979, when Highway to Hell came out. American rock was pretty much sucking then (Styx, Cheap Trick, Kiss), and I had gotten tired of British punk rock. AC/DC was like a shot out of the blue that reminded every one just how killer simple, loud guitars and drums sounded when capably performed.

    I heard Angus Young once say that AC/DC could only have come from Australia, because American record companies of the late 70s were not down with the that raw sound they had....they were looking for singers like Styx and Journey. Bon Scott did not fit the bill!

    Anyway, thank you AC/DC for rescuing rock from a death spiral epitomized by REO Speedwagon and other crap bands! I was "Thunderstruck" by you dudes!

    no doubt the power ballad killed American classic rock. Most of those band kicked ass till the early 80’s when they lost their edge to get play time on the radio.

    Its is a different style than AC/DC, Guns and Roses, et al.

    AC/DC left more space between notes than the punk bands, where were obviously much more frenetic. Different styles, but both quite good!

    Anytime you can get loud guitars and drums capably performed to catchy riffs, you cannot go wrong!

    Default Thank you, Malcolm for being the real deal.

    E Street Band guitarist Steven Van Zandt said in a statement to Rolling Stone, "Malcolm was the essential rhythm guitarist of the world’s greatest working class Hard Rock band. An irreplaceable loss."

    Guns N' Roses' Slash told Rolling Stone, "Malcolm Young was one of the best ever rhythm guitarists in Rock n Roll. He was a fantastic songwriter and he had a great work ethic too. I toured with AC/DC on their 'Stiff Upper Lip' tour. I found Malcolm to be a really cool, down to earth fellow. The entire rock n roll community is heartbroken by his passing."

    Heart's Nancy Wilson told Rolling Stone, "Malcom Young was the embodiment of rock itself. His rhythm guitar style needed no embellishment. He laid down the simple solid guitar truth that taught us all about the 'less is more ethic.' The wild power of simplicity and the head banging hair flipping joys of turning it up really loud and dancing with the vibrations. Thank you, Malcom for being the real deal. We are all going to miss that shredding music that only you and your brother could make together."

    Eddie Van Halen wrote following Young's death, "It is a sad day in rock and roll. Malcolm Young was my friend and the heart and soul of AC/DC. I had some of the best times of my life with him on our 1984 European tour. He will be missed and my deepest condolences to his family, bandmates and friends."

    Megadeth's Dave Mustaine, who regarded Malcolm as one of rock's greatest rhythm guitarists, tweeted Saturday following Young's death, "I have to go...I am losing it that Malcolm is gone. I hate this..." Kiss' Paul Stanley added, "The driving engine of AC/DC has died. A tragic end for a sometimes unsung icon. One of the true greats. RIP." Tom Morello praised Young as "#1 greatest rhythm guitarist in the entire history of rock n roll."*

    Foo Fighters' leader Dave Grohl honored Young by writing about how, at age 11, watching a live AC/DC performance from Paris in 1979 in the movie theater was life-changing. "That film ... was the first time I lost control to music. The first time I wanted to be in a band. I didn't want to play my guitar anymore, I wanted to smash it," Grohl wrote. "Thank you, Malcolm for the songs, and the feel and the cool and the years of losing control to your rock and roll."*

    The Young brothers and AC/DC were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003. With over 110 million albums sold, AC/DC is also the best-selling Australian act of all time.

    I never liked the AC/DC type bands, I was more of a Led Zepplin type, Beatles, Moody Blues, Doobie Brothers, Queen, Deep Purple, James Gang, Eagles, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Allman Brothers, etc,

    Myself, I have a pretty diverse taste in music. Everything from metal (although I hate thrash) to blues and even some classical. But no rap, country or top 40. Never liked disco or punk, either.
